IMPROVEMENT IN BEVEL-RESTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 146,027, dated December 30, 1873; application tiled October 22, 1873.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, JOHN E. SEAVEY, of Kennebunkport, in the county of York and State of Maine, have invented a new and useful Bevel-Rest, for the purpose of holding. boards or plank stationary, so that the same may be beveled at such an 'angle as is necessary by placing the bevel-rest upon the bench with the points toward Vthe workman. The boards or plank to be beveled are set edgewise, or upon the edge, with the end against the bench-hook and lying on the bevel-rest, the same being set at such an angle as will give the bevel desired. In this position it is ready for the plane, drawing-knife, or other tool to be used. I do hereby declare that the following is a full7 clear, and exact description of the construction of said bevel-rest, reference being had to the annexed drawings making a part of this specification.

My invention consists of three pieces of iron or wood, so placed and held as to form a rest for boards and plank, whereby the same may be beveled with a plane or other tool at any angle desired.

of the main part of the rest,which is placed upon the bench when used. There are two points on the under side to keep it from slipping. Figs. 3 and 4 are front and side views of the right-hand joint of the rest. Figs. 5 and 6 are front and side views of the lefthand joint of the rest. i Fig. 7 is an end view of the main part of the rest. Fig. S is a view of one of three pins that are put through the joints to keep the machine together. Fig. 9 is a side view of the Whole machine when together and tted for use. By changing the lower end of thefright-hand joint to one of the other holes shown, a sharper or flatter bevel can be made-the whole to be of cast or malleable iron or wood, and when not in use the pins can be taken out and the Whole packed in a small space.

I claim- As an article of manufacture, the bevel-rest, constructed substantially as and for the purpose described.
